The Herd

The palace has been a busy place for the last couple of weeks. In addition to our regular everyday chaos, we had the garden flourishing, the canning, overnight guests and the start of school. All of the busyness has meant the blog has been put on the back burner. However, I wanted to share this recipe with you. I wasn't sure how it was going to end and wasn't even sure how it was going to go together. So, I didn't get any pictures, but I did get some great help.

The prince and I took some yellow squash (are you sick of reading my squash recipes yet?), tomatoes, and onions. For our tomatoes, I cut them into about eighths. Then, I cut the onions into about the same size chunks. I cut the squash in half lengthwise and the prince sliced them from there. He did a great job and nobody got hurt! I just eye-balled what looked like a good combination of amounts. We mixed a packet of Italian dressing mix. We put almost all of it in with the vegetables. We put the lid on the casserole dish and microwaved it until the squash was tender.

It was delicious! Prince Charming said it was his favorite squash recipe, so far. He even requested it again when we had the overnight guests.
